okay guys I got home late from work threw the new brobucker tremspaced into my PRS Santana 1 (antiquity with A3 in the neck) and hurriedly recorded a clip. It is now late and I gotta go. Will give my review later, but check out the clip on the clips site.

it's Zerb's tremspaced

... For which I thank you very much.:beerchug:

My only issue is that the inlay on mine has your name on it as well :blackeye:

But still, my Flying V is already waiting... just a few more weeks :)

So are these a lot better made than off the shelf Duncans? I may have to order one from the custom shop sinc eit is too late.
 
Re: Brobucker Comes to Life! Lotsa pics!

I wonder what pickup number Brobucker #1 is... I got pickup 91849. Scott or Evan must have gotten #1. Not that it matters, just kinda fun to know :)

OMG I just installed it in my LP! It's a really rich sounding pickup, saying 'complex sounding' would be an understatement... :D

But before I installed it I gave my C5 a good listen on all 3 of my Bogner's channels. Then I took it out and quickly installed the Brobucker. It sounded great right off the bat but after a few tweaks (raising the polepieces a little and radius them, riasing the entire pickup) I got it to sound perfect! It's just plain perfect! Exactly what I was expecting, maybe even better. Fat and smooth yet with enough cut and very complex mids going on. I get harmonics all over the place with great ease.

To me it sounds a bit like a C5 but less compressed, more complex, perfet mids, clearer notes and a bigger, less squishy low end.
Ok well maybe not much like the C5 but under gain it has that same bark exept this puppy has bigger and meaner fangs!

Cleans are nice, very deep and chimey at the same time. I need to play a little more with settings to get it to sound better.

I'm surprised it sounds very different from the 59n, when I flip the toggle there is quite a difference in sound. The difference between the 59 and C5 was smaller.
The 59 sounds a little muffled compared to the Brobucker but again I may need to adjust things.

I noticed that people called it a dark pickup and I agree but it still sounds very clear and present at the same time, I like that a lot.

So far my first findings, I'm soooo bummed I didn't order 2 of them.
I'm def. ordering more in the near future, maybe a mini version for my SG :), could SD and MJ do that?

ohh I almost forgot: THANKS!!!

Very true and a smart move, MJ.

So far from the couple of folks who have installed it, it looks like a winner. :fing2: Sweet.

If this is still available to get down the line, I'd like one. Didn't have the funds on the big order. Bummed me out.

Scott gave us the impression that this was a one time deal -- at least at this price. If you're willing to pay more, I'd bet MJ would wind one at the Custom Shop.

For the Standard CS price you can have one wound, just like you can have just about anything else you can think of yound as a CS pickup ;)

And I wouldn't mind paying more to get one, or two. I've always wanted a Custom Shop pickup and seeing the pics of the winding process and assembly in this thread just makes me want one even more.
 
Re: Brobucker Comes to Life! Lotsa pics!

Looks like mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow
 
Re: Brobucker Comes to Life! Lotsa pics!

I just got my Brobucker, so I'll have it installed as soon as I get home.
It's going in my LP Goldtop.....Brobucker Bridge/Jazz B in neck position.

I just sold off several pickups, and realized that most of my current ones in guitars are Antiquities or Duncan Custom Shop in white/blue boxes.
I can't wait to hear this new one!
